In this episode of Theology Unplugged, I kick things off with a deep dive into the Pseudepigrapha—those fascinating ancient writings that didn’t make it into the biblical canon, but still show up all over early Christian thought. Then I shift into a raw retelling of a recent demonic night terror—an intense dream that left me rattled and reflecting on the reality of spiritual warfare.

After that, things take a different turn as I engage in a live theological debate with “Flavia Julia Constantina” (played by ChatGPT). We go head-to-head on two major doctrines: penal substitutionary atonement and baptismal regeneration. She brings the early church fire; I push back with Scripture and a theology that leaves space for development. It’s sharp, spontaneous, and fully unplugged.
